There is a site at http://members.shaw.ca/mandrake/ -- so ancient that it talks about Mandrake!! on how to create an auto-install disk, to streamline installation and answer all the repetitive questions. The Perl files it refers to are present in Mageia; I accepted an invitation to download an RPM list in that format. Now I have to work out how to use it. There is a new tool that Mandriva and Mageia use to generate disks for a new release. I can't find the reference, but a hunt around their Wikis should turn it up. HTH, Doug.
